The next time you discover some ‘leaked’ free wireless Internet connection from your neighbor into your house, don’t be too excited and go stop your own broadband subscription. A teen in Singapore has been using his neighbor’s unprotected Wi-Fi connection without permission. He now faces charges punishable by up the three years imprisonment.
Garyl Tan Jia Luo, 17, is the first person to face charges under Singapore’s Computer Misuse Act, the Straits Times via AP reports. The teenager also faces a possible fine of up to 10,000 Singapore dollars ($6,425) if convicted despite the lack of aggravating factors to his alleged crimes.
